I finally tried it after deciding Duloxetin was not for me.

The reaction I had to Ashwaganda was really positive. Worries, stress and anger seemed to melt away like butter.

Pain not so much but I felt recharged enough that I could strategize my treatment again.

This could be just a brief good moment and I hope it lasts.

I found some level of gratitude in this living hell called “floxed”.

-This condition removed me from an extremely toxic work environment with high suicide rate.

-I have been on my own since I was 14, I have been able to reconnect with family.

-Last but not least, after ruminating in anger, despair, frustration and grief. I feel like I can actually move on and forgive the people that put me in this position. I can accept responsibility for my actions but I don’t have to accept responsibility for the actions of others.

-This could change tomorrow because of how unpredictable this condition is, but a good moment or “victory” can really be a milestone to hold on to in the future when things are bleak.

Hi

I was floxed in January 2025 by two Levo pills.
I had partial tears and tendinopathies.

15 months later I have severe migrating pain, can be my lower back one day and my knee the next. It’s hard to tell the difference between structural damage and CNS pain.

For people who have seen a neurologist what tests and inquiries benefited you the most?

Brain fog as of late has been very taxing any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I previously saw a Doctor of internal medicine who documented Fluoroquinolone Associated Disability on my chart.

I just started taking it and it helped with nerve pain considerably.

However, since I started the medication my urinary tracts seems to get extremely irritated.

I felt like I might have a UTI or kidney stone from the pain. I read Duloxetin might cause similar symptoms and paused the medication for a couple days, the pain in my UT went away.

Has anyone else had a similar experience? Did it go away when your body adjusted to the medication?
